This multitalented group pioneered the fusion of folk and psychedelia with their use of diverse instrumentation and melody. Formed around the acoustic-leaning core of Robin Williamson and Mike Heron, their landmark album The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter reached #5 on the U.K. charts and was nominated for a Grammy in the West. They had a strong theatrical component to their performances, featuring poetry, dancers, and bizarre skits which complemented their tribal attitude and communal lifestyle.
